CNC CUT BOX STYLE ADJUSTABLE TRACTION BAR KIT
ADJUSTABLE TRACTION BAR KIT
The majority of these trucks had a 10.5" Sterling rear axle which will have a fill plug on the back diff cover. Verify your axle tube diameter if you do not have a fill plug in the rear diff cover. The larger Dana 80 rear axle will have a 4" tube instead of the 10.5 sterling 3.5" axle tube diameter. We offer mounts for both axles, please get in touch with us if you have the larger axle, or we will send the standard 3.5" axle clamp.
(Some models will require removal or trimming of the skid plate on the side of the fuel tank for clearance)
Apoc's adjustable Laser cut traction bars are a bolt-on kit to easily enhance the look of your Ford Super Duty Pick up and add much-needed support for your rear suspension. Today's trucks can put some serious power to the ground, causing wheel hop and leaf spring damage; stock or lift your vehicle will benefit from a quality set of traction bars. If your truck uses lift blocks, then a set of traction bars will add needed stability to your rear suspension. Our simple bolt-on kit clamps around your rear axle housing and volts to your frame; drilling will be required for the frame mount unless you weld it on. The design team also added an adjustable end to allow adjustments for easier installation. If you decide to lift your truck after installing our traction bars, you can adjust the bar to fit with the added lift without having to drill more holes or purchase a longer traction bar.
Traction Bars are 72" or 82" in length. Axle Clamps are replaced with U-Bolt Plates to prevent axle twisting.

Built for Strength. Designed to Fit.
Vehicle-Specific Fit
Apoc lift blocks are vehicle-specific and engineered to match your truck’s factory leaf spring setup. The alignment hole and center pin locations are precisely positioned to match OEM specs, ensuring a secure, direct fit with no modifications required.
Vibration-Reducing Taper
Tapered lift blocks correct pinion angle, which helps maintain proper driveline geometry on lifted trucks. This reduces or eliminates driveline vibrations and minimizes wear on u-joints and differential components—especially important when adding rear lift height.
Benifts of anti-wrap lift blocks
Standard blocks provide basic lift, while anti-wrap blocks feature a wider footprint and additional bracing to reduce axle wrap and wheel hop—especially important for lifted trucks with big tires or high torque output.
FAQ'S
Lift Blocks
Here are some of the most common questions we receive about lift blocks, installation, and related components. Our goal is to help you make the best decision for your build with clear, practical information.
A: Yes. Apoc lift blocks are true to size—the height listed is the actual block height, providing that exact amount of rear lift when installed. For example, a 3" block adds 3" of lift over your current leaf spring height.
A: Apoc lift blocks are vehicle-specific and engineered to match your truck’s factory leaf spring setup. The alignment hole and center pin locations are precisely positioned to match OEM specs, ensuring a secure, direct fit with no modifications required.
The main U-bolts are required to secure the axle and block assembly to your leaf springs. You do not have to purchase them from us if your existing U-bolts are long enough. However, if you are changing the size of your lift block, you will need longer U-bolts. Simply measure the difference in height between your current block and the new block — your new U-bolts will need to be that much longer than your current ones.
Anti-wrap U-bolts are optional. They are designed to secure the wider footprint of the block more firmly to the leaf spring, helping to reduce axle wrap, spring twist, and wheel hop. The taller the block, the more beneficial anti-wrap U-bolts become. For block heights over 6 inches, we recommend also installing ladder bars for added stability and to prevent driveline issues.
A: Standard blocks provide basic lift, while anti-wrap blocks feature a wider footprint and additional bracing to reduce axle wrap and wheel hop—especially important for lifted trucks with big tires or high torque output.
A: No, stacking lift blocks is not recommended and can be dangerous. It compromises stability, increases the risk of axle shift, and can cause premature wear or failure of suspension components. Always use a single, properly sized Apoc lift block for safe, reliable performance.
